Copies the contents of the dump file to another file.

    Format

      COPY  [/qualifier...] output-filespec

1  –  Parameter

 output-filespec

    Name of the device, directory, and file to which SDA copies the
    dump file. The default file specification is:

       SYS$DISK:[default-dir]filename.DMP

    SYS$DISK and [default-dir] represent the disk and directory
    specified in your last DCL command SET DEFAULT. You must specify
    a file name.

2  –  Qualifiers

2.1    /COLLECT

       /COLLECT
       /NOCOLLECT

    Causes SDA to collect (or not collect) file identification or
    unwind data from the current system and append it to the copy
    being created.

    For more details, see the Description of the COLLECT command in
    in the HP OpenVMS System Analysis Tools Manual.

2.2    /COMPRESS

    Causes SDA to compress dump data as it is writing a copy. If the
    dump being analyzed is already compressed, then SDA does a direct
    COPY, and issues an informational message indicating that it is
    ignoring the /COMPRESS qualifier.

2.3    /CONFIRM

    Causes SDA to prompt for which processes to copy when performing
    a Partial Dump Copy. This qualifier can only be used when
    /PARTIAL=PROCESS=option is specified. For each possible process
    in the set, SDA prompts as follows, where the default response is
    No and only a single character response is needed otherwise:

    Copy process "process-name"? (Y/[N]/A/Q):

    Where the response:

    YES   Includes the process in the copy.
    NO    Excludes the process from the copy.
    ALL   Includes the process and all remaining processes in the copy.
    QUIT  Excludes the process and all remaining processes from the copy.

2.4    /DECOMPRESS

    Causes SDA to decompress dump data as it is writing a copy. If
    the dump being analyzed is already decompressed, then SDA does a
    direct COPY, and issues an informational message indicating that
    it is ignoring the /DECOMPRESS qualifier.

2.5    /LOG

    Displays information about the progress of the COPY command,
    for example, the name of the process being copied in a selective
    dump, or, in the case of COPY/COLLECT on Integrity servers, the
    name of an image whose unwind data is being appended to the dump
    copy.

2.6    /PARTIAL

       /PARTIAL=(section,...)

    Causes SDA to copy only the specified sections of the dump.
    The /PARTIAL qualifier can only be used with a selective system
    dump (compressed or uncompressed). It is not available for full
    system dumps or for process dumps. Also, the /PARTIAL qualifier
    cannot be combined with /COMPRESS, /DECOMPRESS, or /[NO]COLLECT.
    Such a copy must be performed as two separate COPY commands,
    and requires exiting from SDA and then re-invoking SDA on the
    intermediate copy.

    See the description of Partial Dump Copies in the HP OpenVMS
    System Analysis Tools Manual. For an explanation of key processes
    and key global pages, and the organization of a selective system
    dump, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 2:
    Tuning, Monitoring, and Complex Systems.

    Multiple sections must be separated by commas. If only one
    section is given, the parentheses may be omitted. Possible
    sections are as follows:

    Table 2-1 Dump Sections

    PT                 System Page Table Space
    S0S1               32-bit System Space
    S2                 64-bit System Space
    REPLICATED_SYS     Replicated System Space (only applies to Alpha
                       systems with RADs enabled)
    PROCESS=option     Process Space for one or more processes.
                       Options are:
                       ALL         All processes. This is the
                                   default.
                       KEY         All key processes.
                       OTHER       All other (not key) processes.
                       NAME=(list) Specific named processes (see note
                                   below)
    GLOBAL=option      Global Pages. Options are:
                       ALL         All global pages mapped by
                                   processes. This is the default.
                       KEY         All global pages mapped by key
                                   processes.
                       OTHER       All other (not key) global pages
                                   mapped by processes.
    KEY                Equivalent to:
                       PT, S0S1, S2, REPLICATED_SYS, PROCESS = KEY,
                       GLOBAL = KEY
    OTHER              Equivalent to:
                       PROCESS = OTHER, GLOBAL = OTHER
    SYSTEM             Equivalent to:
                       PT, S0S1, S2, REPLICATED_SYS

                                   NOTE

       If /PARTIAL=PROCESS=NAME=(list) is specified:

       -  Multiple process names must be separated by commas. If
          only one process name is given, the parentheses may be
          omitted.

       -  Process names can include "%" and "*" wildcards.

       -  The comparison of the given name to actual process names
          in the dump is performed case-blind, and trailing spaces
          and tabs are ignored.

       -  Process names can include characters, such as "," and
          "/". You can enclose the process name in quotes to
          include some of these special characters in the name
          you specify, or you can use the "%" wildcard instead of
          characters.
